Reading this article was great for me. It provided a perspective that I needed with a compelling argument for it.
Reading the comments was a huge mistake. It mired the previous sense of insight with contradictory perspectives supported by compelling anecdotes but, crucially, no analysis more rigorous than the original article.
Of course, you can make a compelling case for anything if you have rhetoric and evidence isn't demanded of you, but I think there's a point where analysis is of negative value.
In a way, learning this lesson has been valuable in and of itself.
